48 hours ago, I was on the headline news Corby East Midlands train emergency for 13 HOURS. Profits before people, dangerous decisions & illegal flood levels lead to a terrifying ordeal that should never have happened.

Got the train from Sheffield at 13:59, going to St. Pancras. All straightforward until around 16:00. Unforeseen circumstances meant we waited at Leicester. After 30 mins, they decided to reroute onto a seldom used track to get us to London quickly. The first bad decision. (2/25)
The Met Office had issued 51 flood warnings for this precise area that day. The track was deep between grassy banks with miles of old tunnel that tightly hugs trains, like the tube. In FLOOD CONDITIONS! Not long out of Leicester we got trapped, you guessed it, in a flood. (3/25)
